Before we get started, please make sure to like follow subscribe, write a review of this podcast wherever you are listening right now and please be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. All those are linked in the description. Enjoy the episode. Just swallow it. Just be an adult and swallow it. It's not gonna stay in your digestive tract for seven years. It's in there for less than a couple weeks. Just swallow. It was a cough drop me swallow a thick cough drop, Paul. Yes. only chance you're going to choke on Oh, look you got Yeah, yeah, I know. All right. We're starting this off with Jani admitting that he would like to see me choke and die on our video call and just watch the eyes. Watch my eyes go. Well, watch. What was the phrase? Just watch me watch the livestream leave on camera, you know, while my eyes glaze over. And he does nothing about it. No, no, I will. I will freely admit that, Shawn, that is something I would like to see. And not just like, Oh, I want this to happen. These aren't my wishes that this happens. Like No, I want to experience this. I want perience my day because I've only I've only ever seen the life leave the eyes of like, you know, small animals. Deer also, you know anything you can skin and where I've seen it I've seen you know that that moment where you're being ceases to exist, but only with smaller life forms only with lesser lesser life forms. I've never seen it with a human so I'd be interested well Yani. Thank you for wishing me harm. Thank you for wishing me death. That's That's why we're Prost the bros, you know, we share in our mutual want for the struction of the other. It's like we're friends, but we also secretly whatnot. I don't wanna say secretly, we both openly wish the other harm and death. It's, it's a mixed bag. It's a it's a mixed bag. Well see, it's a very toxic relationship. See living as a young man with prostitutes, you understand that you're on the cusp of things, you're always on the cusp between between your youth and your old age. Because it's, you know, as we both know, and we probably mentioned before, this isn't a thing that young guys get, you're usually in your late 40s, early 50s. Maybe if you're going to get it, that's when you get it. So we're kind of there, we're kind of in this, we have this liminal existence between our youth and our old age. And so for that reason to live between love and hate, and life and death is only natural to us. Because again, we are these these creatures of extended liminality. So I'm agreeing with you. Now. I mean, it is funny that you make that point just because I was thinking about it the other day, and that this is really the first year that I've truly felt old. And I'm not that old. But that early 20s that youngness that I always say 99 a day, but just viewing myself as a young person is just fading away as I see more and more young people. For example. I forgot her name was Amanda Gorman, who did the poem at the inauguration. So she was 20. She's 22. And I'm like, Fuck, I'm old. I'm not succeeding at life right now. What am I doing? And yeah, with the prostitute, itis is just, yeah, everyone being like, oh, you're young, you should be healthy, and then go on. Well, maybe I just if things are just gonna get worse from here, then Wow, I can't believe this is the best. It gets her me. That's really sad. No, How's about this, How's about? How's about realizing that physically, you peaked years ago before this happened? Your physical peak was probably about a decade ago. And it's just been downhill. You started that descent probably around five or six years ago. Yeah. And to know that you just wasted your physical peak. And that's great. That's always great to know, keeping back in mind, like I just watched Friday Night Lights the other day, and it's about this high school football team. And there's this one scene where the father is talking to his son, and he's like, this is the best year of your life. This is the best year you will ever have. At 17 years old. It all goes downhill from here. And I'm just like, you know if that's true, then I had a shitty shady senior year of high school. So I guess it was just a Ready bottoms, and then just went more and more downhill from there it went. It's not just going down the hill, you were already on flat earth, you're going subterranean at this point, energy going deeper and deeper below the surface. It's like in seven days in hell, when Andy Sandberg by coming made a divot crazy pivot into the yeah into the earth. So essentially my trajectory is Andy Samberg jacket with gay sex ejaculation divot into a tennis court that that's my trajectory. That sounds right, that sounds accurate. Let's get this started. Yes, seven minutes in. Hi folks, and welcome to fog your opinion. This is a movie review pod. Hi folks. Jani. Ponta scelto here. Hi, Jani. Anything else you want? Say? Welcome. Welcome to fk your opinion. podcast@gmail.com. That's That's right. That's the name of the podcast right? Oh, no, wait, that's the email. I got the email more. I remember the email. I remember the email now. Sure. So what are we doing here? folks? I just want you to know real quick that Yani continually makes reference the email address. But you need to know he doesn't have access to the email address. He doesn't know the password. It's a very simple password that only us two would get. But I've never told it to him. He's never going to know. Anyways, like so anyways. So this is a movie review podcast, who actually didn't watch movies today. It's a little weird. It was your choice for this episode, in which we watched something that we both like we both both love these movies, nor whatever though. Whatever you want to call? What did you? What did we watch? Well, yeah, I don't really know exactly what you'd call them both. They're not quite feature length films. I think they come right on in, right and underneath the feature designation, so maybe you'd call them short films, but well, they're Radio TV specials, like 60. You got to be 41. Well, 41 is your designation now? It used to be but maybe now it's 60. They must have changed. I mean, TV. I guess what I'm getting at is it's hard to define exactly what this is. It's not a TV show. It's kind of like a TV special. It's like an HBO special. And there are two of them. The first one being seven days in hell the 2014 Yeah. 2014 tennis, mockumentary, 2015 tennis mockumentary starring Kit Harrington and Andy Samberg and a number of other celebrity guests. And then john Mack Hara that. Oh, that Yeah, that's a little link between the last episode last week's episode in this week's episode, and then we follow that up with tour to pharmacy there. That same team's 2017 follow up, also starring Andy Samberg. But with Freddie, Freddie, Hi, Mark and satis name. Freddie Highmore with the guy from Hamilton. I can't remember his name. Taye Diggs. Yes, no. Tay DAGs john cena and Orlando Bloom in a very weird role. But yeah, he's there. They're both there. This one's about the the Tour de France and has another great celebrity guest star athlete though we don't know who he is because he's hidden the entire time and you can't really see his face. But if you look really hard, you might be able to tell that it's actually cyclist and six time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. Why it's I never want to got that. That's a shock. You might not know you have to really look for it. But it's there. You can tell Tim? Yeah, can we can we pause like two seconds as needed. Turn off my fridge. I just realized it's running. Okay. Well, you better go. You better go get it back inside. Ah, ah. Ah, guys, he's gone. Finally. Oh. Alright, I'm back. Alright, so yeah, seven days in hell toward a pharmacy. Which one do you want to tackle first? And why? I don't know. Shawn. You actually saw seven days in hell first. You turn me on to it. Why don't you give me the story about seven days ago. You didn't explain in the last episode? Yes, the rundown. So my experience was seven days and how is this? I first watched it at South by Southwest and when I went to the screening, I had no idea what to expect. I mean, there was no trailer there was only this one still image of Andy Samberg. And while Andy Samberg had does have a particular type of humor. It's still very much fluctuates. All I knew was This was a tennis mockumentary. So I went in, essentially blind and the theater erupted in laughter the entire time, it was one of the best theater experiences I've ever had. And part of that is just it was such a surprise and such a shock. And one of the things that I think is so great about these, both of these movies is how culty they are in a way where almost nobody knows about them. But the people that know about them, absolutely love the shit out of them. I also managed to turn my roommate on to them. So back when toward a pharmacy came out. I was like, yo, we gotta watch toward a pharmacy. We got to watch seven days in hell, we watched it together. And to this day, he'll always tell me whenever I meet somebody new whether it be a friend, girlfriend, whatever, I almost immediately show them one of these movies to see if their comedic tastes are in line with mine. Because they're just so fucking perfect. They're I just adore both of them so much. They're so funny. Yeah, I would I wish I had a better story for the seven days and how but I honestly don't remember a ton. I remember the experience. Overall. I just don't remember the specifics. Besides they called Andy Samberg. I think Wilfork day was there. And they called in Kit Harrington or Andy Samberg or somebody though it was funny. But yeah, yeah. You know, Will Forte is actually plays a character named Sandy Picard. He's probably not it's not one of the bigger characters, but he has I think a biography on Aaron Williams. Aaron Williams is the name of Andy Samberg. His character, the whole store with Arie William Aaron Williams, is that Serena Williams Father, you know Serena Williams, that tennis player took a took him in and did a reverse quote a reverse blind side with him where they took a poor white kid in off the street and made him play tennis. Will Forte is probably he's probably got some of my favorite lines in this. He's he just comments on it. He's one of the main talking heads that they lace in to tell the narrative of the episode or of the of the match and premise for those of you who don't know, because I don't think we actually described severely for seven days and however sort of specifically seven days in hell, we'll start on that and I think we'll move on to tour to pharmacy afterwards. Seven days a hell the main premise of the mockumentary is that it covers this one tennis match this fictional tennis match that took place at Wimbledon in 2001. Over the course of seven days between kit Harrington's character, Charles pool, who was supposed to be like the world number two at that point, and Andy Sandberg character Aaron Williams, who had just broken out of Swedish prison and was given a wild card to play in the tournament. And they face each other and the whole thing the whole match plays out over seven days it just keeps on escalating things get more ridiculous like the first day is delayed because it rains the second day is like what Andy Samberg comes back. It says I mean without getting to the all the specifics cuz I don't want to belabor it right now because that's what it feels like you're about to do just be like, let go. single day, every single day every single point, you know, just the Jani pata Scotto method. This Jani, the Jani ramble. Yes, the Jani ramble, but what I love so much, I mean, they both do a very similar thing, in that they take the sports documentary style, and they just do such a good job at making fun of it. And in addition, now I'm I know I'm kind of segwaying a little bit but in addition at doing so many different types of shows doing so many different types of documentaries or news styles or what have you, I mean, there's a Swedish show this a Swedish Swedish hit show, which actually has like a Swedish TV host. There's Taiwanese animation is us at one point they go to like a found footage thing with kit Harrington's character for like half a second after the the Queen has like called him told him to win and he disappears off camera and the camera man has to go find him and he's like facing a wall and facing a wall ominously, it's Yeah, it's crazy. And I think what's so astounding about both of these is that they both managed to really capture whatever tone or style they're trying to go for. Because it very much does fluctuate. Like I just said, you're balancing between all these different types of content in order to put it into this mockumentary, but it all does such a great job at working well cohesively within each other, but also making fun of that specific thing. I mean, just to talk about that, the prison escape so when Andy Samberg goes to sweetest prison when Andy Samberg goes to sweetest prison. Try to get Andy slow is the sweetest Swedish sweet Swedish prison, so shut the fuck up. When Andy Samberg goes suing sweetest prison. Most of it is told through this Taiwanese news animation style, which you've probably seen snippets of it in the past, but it's done to such an absurd degree. Because literally and it's narrated by a subtitled interview of dark from doll of Dolph Lundgren. Yes, where he's talking about he's he's deities narrating the events at the Thai Woody's animation. He's narrating it and the Taiwanese animation they're essentially in sweetest prison all these guys are having an orgy. What and it's just the thing, it's just the thing they do. And then Andy Sandberg is animated version, watches Charles pool on the television Charles pool basically says oh, I'm probably better than Andy Samberg. And Andy Samberg decides to break out of prison. And he has the biggest stick you've ever seen. And it's really a female acid. It's Yeah. And say why he's when he breaks out of the door. He's running and it's swinging in the breeze and it knocks a bird and like a rabbit off the ground. That's one of my favorite moments. Because it's my favorite part that follows that is that the the same guy, the Swedish TV host says, you know, and now in accordance with Swedish law, he is a free man, because he broke out of prison. Which by the way, the prison, were just telling you what happens. The prison is like to quote the movie, like a modern apartment with mid century furnishings. Let me let me ask you this. What's your favorite part of seven days in hell? My favorite part in seven days in hell? I guess. Two separate questions. What's your favorite part is your favorite character? Because the thing is, what's so great about these movies is that they have so many jokes. It's just batting you in the face so consistently that even the first two minutes has so many fucking great jokes. Just in two minutes. It's insane. Anyways, what's your favorite thing? That's your if you had at least 123 just a little bit. Favorite thing. If I had to pick that's a difficult one that's really hard. There are so there You're right, this is packed, packed with jokes. I'd say probably my favorite one, you're gonna have to censor me, you're gonna have to censor me. But the first one that comes to mind is the interview with David Copperfield was just talking about. He's so good. At one point, he shows up on Charles pool, Charles pools shoulders to like, help Aaron with an extra day. But early on in the documentary, he's being interviewed, and he's talking about how he and Aaron Williams would hang out in the 90s. And I'm gonna quote it, you're gonna have to censor me here? Yeah. But he said something along the lines of it was me and Aaron Williams and for for about 10 years make it? I can't even say it. It was me and Eric Williams for about 10 years, going out every night making money and crushing it. And I think part of the interesting coming out of his mouth is that we, I mean, it's hilarious. And David Copperfield performance is so funny. But the thing to think about what that line is that we establish that and you have to understand this was before cocaine was elite that dow is that's what I was gonna say, that's one of my favorite lines. But I'm gonna go back that real quick, because I just want to make a point. So David Copperfield says about a good 10 years they were doing this right now has apparently been locked up for like a year or two. And there's a wine. So theoretically, Aaron was probably 16 when he started doing this. Yeah, he was he was 25 in Yeah, yeah. He was about 25 and 96 when he almost won the first time. And so you'd have to imagine he was maybe locked up for like a year or two by 2001. So yeah, he was probably sweet. tubes. Yes, it also moved to sweet at least 17 when he was hanging out with la magician, I think that's the could possibly have been. Oh, just, which is just like, wow. That's not what is seven. What? Okay, no, you could attend us you could go pro when you're 16. It's not right. Can't go pro what I'm just saying that that he's doing all right with David Copperfield. That's a very young age. But going back to the line, you were just saying that cocaine bit is one of the best bets. So at one point in the match, well, I want to say in the second or third day, Aaron is not doing well. And then he starts doing really well. And we have a little montage of Oh, it's because he's just snorting cocaine through everything. Serena Williams is like, in his in his water bottle. It's in his coke ring. It's so funny. necklace. Got handed in the lines on the court? Yeah. On the his tennis racket. And then what I think what we're really just is the best zinger end to it is when David Copperfield, just non what's the word? On candidate candidly, very candidly, yeah, he very candidly tells the camera. Well, you got to remember that's before cocaine was illegal. And then the interviewer says cocaine has always been elite. illegal. Well, Mike, it was so funny. It's so funny. And I guess that's probably one of my favorite parts close. Second is the courtroom illustrator bit that always comes out of nowhere say that. You just want a favorite part. That's my favorite part by far. So essentially, when Aaron Williams gets convicted in Swedish court convicted in Swedish court, there's a whole non sequitur bit for about a minute or two about the court room artist. And the thing is, then it goes into a whole like I said, a whole segment about the history of courtroom artists, and how it all started in from this guy in the 50s name like what do you remember what the name was young, something young. So yeah, you're right. This is a Swedish name is some Swedish name. So basically, it's not even the guy who did the courtroom photos for Aaron's case, it's the history of why so I'm skipping it. So the courtroom pictures for Aaron's case have Disney images, they have a little birds fluttering, it's all very contest. Yeah. So then everyone is explaining the backstory of why that is, which is to say, there was a courtroom artists back in the 50s, who, quote unquote, changed the game and just threw random Disney shit in. And because of that, he inspired this new way of courtroom artists to basically just do crazy shit like Picasso and the members on the other artists they try to replicate. Oh, no, I can't remember any off the top of my head. But yeah, it said it's all of that. All that happens. And he starts and here's the other thing is that all the talking heads like john McEnroe, knowing his character, they all keep going they follow the non sequitur they start describing with great interest by the way, like they have a working knowledge of this. The the life and history of this man, same thing goes for Chris Everett, you know, 18 time Grand Slam champion, Chris average. He's also providing like input on this and how's it goes, you know, he starts getting more fame more women. And he thinks Okay, well the there's nowhere else for me to go but the moon. So he builds a rocket. And he goes on the rocket to explore other planets so he can make, you know, to get more women to find more beautiful women. And it blows up on it explodes on takeoff. And then there's just like this really solemn moment where we'll fortes character is really just contemplating the loss, the tragic loss of this man, and then he snaps out of it. And he starts talking, it's like, well, it goes back to Well, it's the line is great too, because Will Forte just like so Aaron owed the Swedish government $12 million. Such is what happened in the story previously, but it's just such we were taken. So out of it, that it's just such a slap in the face, and is just brilliant. It's the best transition. It's this is I it's crazy how this segment has literally nothing to do with the rest of the movie, and is by far my favorite segment. Cuz it's so crazy. And also the photos they use of this guy. He's not handsome or anything. I don't want to be like, oh man, he's an ugly motherfucker. But to basically say this guy could have sex with any woman he wanted. He had all the money all the pussy. He got everything he was. He was like the Dan was it the damn bazillion? What's the guy's name? Dan? Oh, you know, I'm talking about bilzerian I think Dan. Erin's guys, man, this guy's like the Dan bilzerian of course, or immortus artists. And this guy looks like what's the monster guy in Goonies? Oh, not chunk sloths. It looks like long slop. It doesn't look like slop. He's like, the point is it's hilarious. It's crazy. Anyway, they do they do something similar in in tour to pharmacy, two with the with the red blood cells. I know, which is awesome. I don't know if that's my favorite bit. But we'll talk about tour difference. I guess a little bit later. I think we're focusing on seven days in hell right now. And yeah, you know, as a tennis fan, too. It's just so great to see the little Tennessee the little jokes they throw in there or like the little anachronisms to like at one point you're seeing what's supposed to be like found not found footage, but footage of Charles pool as a kid as a like a three or four year old. And so as a three or four year old. It's supposed to be like what 1985 for him, maybe. But he's playing. He's very obviously played with a modern day racket. And then also his mom played by Mary Steen virgin is visibly the same age as she is later on who does not have a British accent By the way, who doesn't use a British accent? I mean, if she does, it's like very, very subtle, but also probably not there. It adds to it that she does it. But yeah, Mary Steenburgen just plays herself no makeup, no anything else, she's barely off. She's also barely in it. But she plays like that mother who with that, you know, when it all costs sort of mentality who also doesn't love her child and only will tell him he loves her if she's if he if he wins, if he's good at tennis, you know that that toxic parent we all see and our childhood sports and then also in professional sports later on, you know, the kind of parent that produces a couple of Menendez is okay, yeah, just small little things like that. And then also, the fact that they got so many renowned tennis players. I mean, I say so many, it's like three, but still that they got john McEnroe, Chris MC ever tour, sorry, Chris Everett, and then Serena Williams. And then also Jim Lampley, who's another guy that you frequently see commenting on or well saw for commenting on tennis. It's just really impressive. All the effort that went into this granted now when you're looking at a wide of the tennis court and you pay attention to the audience, you can tell that they use like to fill the seats in this court, the CGI court you can tell they use maybe like four or five different CGI models if you're really paying attention, because it's the same. I don't know if you noticed, but one of my favorite little gags that's very easy to miss is the crowd reaction. There's these two guys, there's this one guy like an orange sweater and they just Okay, so I'll tell you right now, that's rough on a dog that's that's Grand Slam champion Robin adores his father and his uncle Tony, his coach, and they use it three times they use this same clip. I think one of his victories at when his first victory at Wimbledon. In 2008. They use this same clip like three frickin times. And I think one of the times they use it is when the streaker comes down to the court on like day or four or five. And he and she and Aaron Williams start having sex on the court. And you see it's just this same clip of like, of, of Rafa's dad and uncle Tony like shooting up into the air with their fists raised in excitement. It's just fantastic. Yeah. Let me ask you this. So I'll preface this by saying if you haven't seen see this movie, if you haven't seen it already, but what Another thing I absolutely love is just the absurdity that happens on the tennis court as it gets apps. I can't stress how ridiculous it gets. So Eonni sets us he sets a serve record for 174 miles an hour which is impossible. Well, I was gonna ask you this there's I feel like there's two highlight moments. There was the one you were just mentioning in which Aaron has sex with two separate strikers and again backup one striker Females streaker that a male streaker. And then both of them afterwards. Yeah, so we're talking about, you know, about eight hours of sex. Yes. So either that or earlier on when Aaron kills a guy. He does like kill him. Okay? Remember, he doesn't kill him. He serves a really fast ball 174 miles an hour, and it hits the line judge and it gives the line judge a heart attack and the heart attack is what kills him. So as john McEnroe would say, do you think Aaron Williams killed him? He would say kind of. Yeah, I forgot about that bit. And that just killed me. It was so funny. You're almost as dead as that line judge. Yeah, yeah, but joke. A joke killed me like that line judge gave me a heart attack. So which one do you like this? Oh, which one do I like more? Which one gets you more? You know, just because of everything that him killing that line judge spawns like all the small jokes. I'd have to go with that because after this after this point, after he kills them later on when he comes back to tennis, and later tennis Wimbledon grandson, he gets that he gets that tattoo that says fuck tennis forever on his stomach. But when he comes back and he's granted the wild card in one of the headlines, it says murderer returns to Wimbledon will he kill again is the subtitle. And then when he's in one of the graphics before, one of like the TV graphics before he goes up to play Charles pool, they have like the ranking which he's like 128 at the tournament, which by the way, they don't, they don't show your seed if you're below 32 it's only the top 32 so that's kind of like a tiny thing that wouldn't actually happen. But his rankings like 128 and Charles pool is to win. He's won like seven Grand Slams, and Charles Poole has won like two and then it says people murdered at the very bottom and under, under under Aaron Williams it says wanted under Charles pool it says 02 I forgot you know the tennis players that who's the female tennis player? Wait, which one that they multiple talking head interview? The blonder one. Oh, Chris Everett. Yeah. When she I wrote down the line. She says, I've seen too many dead bodies on the tennis court. Like, like they pile up like it's a It is interesting that both of these movies have a lot of murder and death. For sports that you wouldn't think would have a lot of death. It's pretty great. No, it's I've always said if they were going to make a third one, it has to be about swimming. I think swimming would be good has to be about the third sport that nobody cares about. Well, not not that nobody cares. But it had its heyday A while ago, I was thinking that there is a lot of opportunities. I do remember reading an interview from Jake Szymanski, the director and he was speaking about the trick with these movies and if they are going to do a third one is that they have to find a sport in which it's small enough that they can theoretically do like you can't do football you can't do basketball. Because involves too many people on a core at a time where in making these movies the reason why they are able to get so many great fantastic people is because they shoot it so quickly. The I mean Kit Harrington shot all his stuff in three days. So it's it's insane how much they're able to pack into it. And with the talking heads all those people were just well whenever we can get them which works out and actually adds a lot to it. But is to say they shoot these very quickly and they need sports in which and that's why with tour to pharmacy, which we'll get into it gets cut down to five writers because that's all they could do the bare minimum Luckily, we only have to tell the story of five um, anything else you want to say about seven days in hell before we move on? I've oh man in the last year alone I've probably watched it three times this is it really? Like we're not doing a justice there's so much we're not talking about not it's it's spectacular. Really do yourself a favor get the free trial of HBO max or if you already have it Good luck. Look up seven days in hell it's it's the number seven not the spelled word seven. Just save you some time there because I also want to say that I asked Jani this last night and the answer was very expected. I asked them seven days and how versus Seven Samurai and Jani says And how as fantastic as Seven Samurai is I can't argue this is only 41 this is only like 43 minutes. And for as good as Seven Samurai is it's over three hours. And you know, I love me a long movie Love, love me a long movie to death. But I've never watched this and not walked away a happier person. No. Like, I literally watched this movie twice in preparation. Well, I watched them both twice and watching it the second time. Only a couple days afterwards, nothing was lost on me. I still laughed hard. I still laugh at all the same jokes, which is so incredibly rare for a comedy. It's so hard when you know what joke is coming for the comedy to still be so effective. And so funny to be so well. You have to be Dewey Cox levels are good for that to work. And not everyone is I will say put in an out there. These are if we're going to call these films. These are two of my favorite comedy films of all time. I have a hard time finding anything that will make me laugh more than either with them. Last thing I will say is Jani we forgot to do the yogi green tea quote of the day. Ah, Nani you thought you'd thought you'd forgot I forget Yogi. Shah. Was he Okay, green tea. Well, Johnny, I'm glad you asked. So the yogi green tea quote of the day is off. This is a funny one, you're gonna you're gonna appreciate this and Doobly wonder what that means? You could have found a funny or you could have found a funnier quote from the movie. You know, I had to do that because even though there are funnier quotes of the movie, I do not go a single week without thinking about saying and do but saying and Doobly and without I am about kit Harrington's character, saying and Doobly without realizing what it means and just trying to say it to sound smarter because he's so stupid. It's you know what I say? At least? You know what I say to myself at least once a week but and I'm no stranger to adult films. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. And I'm no stranger to adult films. That's in reference to the striker three. So what specifically will four days but yeah. Alright, let's move on to to or to pharmacy. It's a whole different beast. And it's also not at all same same director By the way, Jake says manscape I believe this is named writer Marie Miller. So same almost the same exact team. I do want to say real quick, because you just brought them both up. As much as I think Andy Samberg contributed a lot of the jokes and the humor to these. I need to give shake and you said great, right, Marie Miller, and he give them both so much credit for why these movies work, because I was just watching some of the bash brothers. Have you seen that? Oh, I love the bash brothers. I think it's okay. But it's not even I'm a I'm a big Lonely Island fan though. That's, that's okay. That's I like the Lonely Island. But it's just even though you could offhand say they're very similar without really looking at it, in actuality, the senses of humor and the styles are considerably different. And I just really love what these two did with both these movies. And it's so unique and so special. And I just, I just love it so much anyways, toward the pharmacy, Georgia pharmacy. Same same thing I don't think we ever run down. It's just a tour. It's the fictionalized account of the 1982 Tour de France, wherein the entire racing body was pared down to five guys who refused to pay off the Iuc. The Iuc chair to knock him tested for drugs played brilliantly, like Kevin Bacon. And so the story follows the only five cyclists who did who did not agree to to pingry perjury, not perjury. What's the term? I'm totally blanking on this term here. They just then cybercrime money bribery. Yeah, bribery. They didn't they did not agree. They did not consent to bribery. And so only five guys were left and their jobs are altruistic. It says they're either greedy or too dumb and forgot to do it. Because most of them were on drugs. Yeah. Which was the other thing like how did they not get caught dead on drugs? I mean, eventually john cena gets caught when Marty hos admit to being on drugs at some point because all the other ones were on drugs. Marty hos is the only one I can't think of actually being on drugs? I don't know steaks were medium. We're talking about hundreds of dollars on the line with dozens of fan steaks are media. I don't think so. Actually. No, I don't think Marty ever the only one accidentally confesses to being on drugs. I don't think Freddie Highmore does either. Oh, no, she does. Now she does. She did. She said she was a lot of what you say she was on oxycodone, opioids, Oxycontin, oxycodone, ya know, everyone else does. And then well, I don't know if Danny Glover necessarily cops to beat on drugs. But he said he did it with his sweat. He admits his blood and extra blood. yahzee say drugs. Yeah, he says extra puree. But anyways, they all cheated. They all treated everyone cheated. What's your okay? Yeah, what is what is your favorite part? You've already told me it's the blood stream thing. Let's talk about the blood. You know, I think that was my favorite thing when I initially watched it, because again, it's a non sequitur that comes out of nowhere. And essentially, well, it's a non sequitur, based off of a non sequitur, right? So Oh, no, sorry. It's a non sequitur that leads into another non sequitur. So correct me if I'm wrong, but they're talking about how blood works than a human body. After joking about how blood doping works. Yeah, well, blood doping works after john cena gets caught for blood doping. So this is Jon Hamm says you have to understand how the bloodstream works before you understand blood doping. And by the way, Jon Hamm narrates both of these I don't think we mentioned that yet. But Jon Hamm is the narrator and both and Edgar Wright does a little narrating and this one as well. And they're both fantastic narrators. It's having this comic timing without winking at the audience. It plays it very straight, but knows it's hilarious. Anyways, in this scene, we have these red blood cells that are, you know, animated after school special kind of stuff. And they're talking about how blood works in a human body. And then this old man red blood cell points his cane explaining how everything works, and points out a white blood cell. And the white blood cell is a cop, and I can sell copies like he's got a gun, and then jumps into him. And I guess however, blood works, disintegrates him and effectively kills him. And then it leads to rot rioting in the bloodstream. And it just goes places. And then that leads to the animator, an older black woman, and she's like, I click the mom from The Cosby Show. Yeah, the mom from the car. I can't remember her name, right off that day. And then it's her backstory about how she did that movie after she got kicked off Sesame Street for introducing this QE black Healy black who's not a black Muppet, but is in essence a Black Panther. But yeah, less. And let me I actually wrote down the line. Let me look at it real quick. So the regular Sesame Street puppet says, Hey, hey, we want to play a numbers game. And he goes, shut the fuck up. And it's just so indebted ends and his cuts right back. Yeah, the fact that we have a three second Sesame Street Black Panther, non sequitur in this Tour de France. And that's what makes us special. It's just right. Yeah. What is this? I don't think we could also we can't forget Nathan fielder's cameos. And it's also one place. What organ organization that his characters do not remember the org, the EPO. Maybe, anyways, his deal is that he has to, he has to test out he says that everyone at the CBO or whatever this organization was in for a stout drug enforcement, they have to test out all the drugs so they know what they're working with. And so he says he paints a picture every time he takes a drug and he asked the interviewers if they want to go see it, and then he takes them down this hallway of paintings he's done. And he's on crutches for some reason to I don't know why he's on crutches, maybe David filter like twisted his ankle, or maybe that's something that was edited out Who knows. But he's going down this hallway, and the first one he stops at is like crack or something, or crystal meth. And it's like watercolor of a bear of him. fellating a bear. And then he goes to the next one, and it's like, it's also him. fellating a bear and it's a crack. So he says yeah, you can tell that these are two are really the same thing and then the next one he goes to I think is like LSD or something. And instead this time it's a it's the bear fellating him and so he says, as you can tell the these are two very different drugs. Oh yeah, it's because you know, you're sucking the bears sucking you off now instead. And if that's not enough, Nathan fielder takes just this slightly prologue pause before ending the scene by saying, and these are all for sale to deadpan, one of the best moments. Yes, I agree that that's also one of the best might be one of my favorite you know, another one of my favorites talking about like how much these specials these short short films, TV movies, who cares what they're called, how perfectly they balanced jumping around from genre to genre, is at the very end. The whole tour has been covered by James Marston on but yes, I love this bit too. I love playing a character, an Australia character named Rex Honeycutt and he's interviewing the the the cyclists during the whole tour. And on the lat very last day, Marty hos and Freddy homers character, Eddie Marty hos play by Andy Samberg and Freddie Hi, I'll just Monte haga Freddie Highmore there they've started a they're an open there they become openly gay while being secretly heterosexual because Freddie Highmore his character is actually a woman in drag pretending to be a man she's a female cyclist, but pretending to be a male cyclist so she can prove suit, she can break the gender barrier. And with the worst drawn on mustache, the worst like pencil mustache, it's fantastic. But they've they've tied their bikes together so they can win the Tour together on the last day. And then Rex Honeycutt receives a notification that because he's been cycling the entire time, and he had to register as a biker or as a cyclist for the tournament, that he's technically qualified to also win if he wants to. And he says, and I just might and so such the term genre switch with such determination genre switches as as Martin Adrian ram into him and take him off road and it becomes like a, like a 1980s BMX movie, complete with a guy in like aviators, flipping them down and saying, like, Whoa, righteous, like at one point. James Marsden's character does a flip off of a does a flip off of a ramp. And the thing is, like 30 seconds earlier, it was making, I was poking fun at French New Wave films and how they were shooting the black and brown TV had been covering the their relationship their affair. Yeah. And it's just like you said, it's so seamlessly goes back and forth between different genres while effectively hitting them all so well. So yeah, it's just so well handled. I like to think of another instance. Oh, wait, was that cut this out? I I totally blanked. I just latch on earlier on. Wasn't there another one? I talked about the milk thing, the milk thing, the milk thing, the credit card and the the the the remunerative? cunnilingus Yes. You can tell that the debt has not been paid. nor will it Am I right, fellas. I just noticed that the most of the crew is female. So what Yani left out. We just left out. And again, why these are so fantastic as there's another non sequitur, explaining why Dittmar clerkin played by Kevin Bacon accepts bribe money from everybody, which is that he owed a lot of money from just over using a credit card. And credit cards had just been introduced to Sweden, right. It was Sweden, nuts with Finland, some some country something wherever, yeah, wherever Dittmar clerkin was located, credit cards had just been introduced, and they were introduced through this weird fucking commercial, where a guy accidentally takes out he grabs a glass of milk from the fridge, accidentally spills on the floor. His wife comes home, and then is like oopsy Daisy, and it cuts to him giving her oral sex while she's drinking a glass of milk drinking glass of milk. And then he comes up from under the covers like exhausted and she's like, No, no, no, you got to go back down there. And then the commercial says why pay now when you can pay later and commercial And it was a confusing confer commercial for a billion reasons Maya Rudolph said one of the talking head she's great at this. Yeah, it's just the attention to detail and every little thing is so perfect. I also because I don't want to forget, but the supporting just to transition right now, the supporting cast of this film is so fucking brilliant. I mean, any Sandberg is always great but john cena as as Gustaf deters his stuff this is so fucking funny when he's flexing with Rex Honeycutt or when is holding that man with the really tiny genitals above his head like that's acting your holy a naked man behind the shaker the male striker from seventh have seven days in hell reprises his role what not reprises his role but he's naked in this one again john cena has just got him like he during the the the tour there's like a there's a crash and a fight erupts from it. And john cena gets in a fight with this guy's character rips off his clothing and holds him over his head and this guy's very diminutive genitalia is just like inches away from john cena is here. And he's so committed to it. He doesn't faze him at all. He's totally fine with it. Yeah, I want to make sure question like what he saw in the in the in the arm in the armed forces, but yes, it's what I will say. comedically almost all the supporting cast I would argue this is some of their best roles. JOHN CENA, Orlando Bloom, Taye Diggs, super quick audio footnote right here. So we say Taye Diggs a couple times it's actually the V Diggs I am so sorry to V Diggs, and all of his fans and everybody that is our mistake, mostly ianis mistake, but still our collective mostly ianis mistake arlindo what what would you put better as an Orlando Bloom movie? Have you ever seen Zuma performance performance? Okay, I mean, like performance. Yeah, you know what I mean? I'm not gonna he's not used in a lot of it's kind of under us. Orlando Bloom is Juju Pepe. I agree. But at the same time, it's something where he's often such a generic leading man, and that's not necessarily a slight on him. It's just that that's the role he found himself and a lot of the time that this is such a 180 that he he got to flexes his humor muscles. Yeah, yeah. I mean, and then you're also like, Danny, you're forgetting like all the people who play the older versions you have funny Dolph Lundgren comes back actually plays somebody this what he plays the older version of go stuff deters. Jeff Goldblum plays the old Marty hos I'd said earlier Danny Glover plays the older slim Robinson by the way Davi Diggs characters slim Robinson for those of you haven't seen it plays Jackie Robinson, the baseball players nephew, and his whole thing is like he hasn't he's been good at like every sport but he hasn't broken like the race barrier in any of them yet, because they've all it's all happened baseball, football like all of them. So we that's why he chose cycling just so he could be the first black guy to be good. And then he Mike Tyson's and this guy just make a real quick note. So at one point, there's a great quote where he tells Rex Honeycutt, you know, at some point they're gonna call Jackie Robinson Slim's uncle. And he says, dead serious. And RECs. Heavy cuts like I doubt it. Yeah. And we're actually just like, Yeah, I don't think so. But yeah, other people. Will Forte comes back. He plays a small role in this one as a police officer who finds a water bottle that's rigged to with a needle to dispense, you know, steroids. He has his and as soon as he's pricked by the steroid needle, he become like very aroused. There was some sort of powerful aphrodisiac effect and the steroids and so he just keeps on asking people around him to like, sodomized him with his flashlight or a baggie with this thing. Let me now now. Jessie is an own three stir. Yes, just like squatting over his baton. JJ Abrams has a small part in this one, too. He's talking about how the French TV coverage inspired him the French TV coverage of Marty hos and Adriana inspired him as a filmmaker. Do you want a man is the best film. I also just want to say as far as the talking heads are concerned. One of the things that I really love about this one more so than seven days and how seven days and how mostly focuses on talking heads related to tennis, where this one just has Talking Heads across the spectrum. And I think that's probably because they establish themselves a bit but I mean What mike tyson Joe buck, JJ Abrams, it's just like these guys have nothing to do with by cycling. It's nuts, but I just love that especially mike tyson because he has. He has so many lines for somebody we know as a boxer. Those two it shouldn't be those two it shouldn't be thinking about Africa it's got this great it's mostly just so they could like find some way to incorporate Mike Tyson's punch out in there. Which is great. Yeah, it's also if you watch through the credits also have you did you watch through the end credits? you find out that the kid that Mike Tyson stop thought stole his bike was Joe buck. I also loved the when Mark Andy Samberg as Marty hos who is from Africa, but is a very rich, wealthy white kid from Africa, whose father owns a diamond mine. Yeah. And he goes, you know, you know, there were times where we didn't have my nerds. So I had to be like, Dad, where's my nerds? Where's my nerds? And rexy breaks? It almost breaks. No, it's Rex and Rex Honeycutt is like, Oh, yes. Who can forget the Nord? nerd shortage in Africa? Yeah, it's just even thinking about these jokes. It's just so you're so spot on and so perfect, and just so replayable and so quotable or like there's really nothing that there's really nothing that doesn't work. I mean, like the first time for instance, I just want to say the first time that Marty hos and Adrian hook up as again, this is pretty high Moore and Andy Sandberg they run behind a stone wall on the on the route and when they jump behind, and the Camera Cuts two cuts to onlookers and it cuts back to them and it's these obviously like fake mannequin legs. that somebody that two people behind the wall are just like flipping back and forth. And you're hearing like Andy Samberg makes sound effects like whoa, and then they at least at last, like bang all fair, like four legs on the wall. It's just it's nonsense. It's ludicrous. Yes. And I really love Freddie Highmore here too. I love rolls and which people are faking and mistaking their identity. So Freddie Highmore his performance as a woman pretending to be a man? What the sexy chick? Watch. Oh, you have to shave my legs. This is This is so weird. There's so many moments. And I just want to I, I would be remiss not to quote john cena, or at least the one bit where at this point in the race, everyone is riding as slow as possible because there's only five people and they just don't want to work hard. So do you want me to set you up? You want me to say? Yeah, sure. So essentially, there's a press conference with john cena is Gustaf debtors. And a reporter says cool stuff. Can you run fast? Fuck you. Next question. Ghost off Can you ride fast? Fuck you. I will ride incredibly fast. The race starts now. And his performance is just so funny. I remember reading an interview where either Andy Samberg or the director was talking about how one of their inspirations for this movie was just the thought of seeing such a huge bulking john cena on such a tiny bicycle. And you know It's so fucking funny. You do not understand the way I say Cheeto the way I say Cheetah you just you have to understand it's a little confusing with your accent. When I say Cheetah the way I say Cheetah I am not a cheetah How does it make me a cheetah if I use a tablet? There are these two movies are pretty much perfect. Watch them back to back now it's you have to do the double feature. I've done it many times now. It will make you such a better person. They know they don't get all they do not get all they know. Honestly the first time I watched her to pharmacy I didn't. I thought it was like not as good. I thought it was a little little hokey compared to the first one. And then the next time I watched it I immediately threw that missing that that misunderstanding out the window. It's so wrong. Don't Well, let me ask you this. Yeah, don't be like me. Let me ask you this. Which one do you like more? If you had to pick one, you know, I would have said Seven days in hell, but I watched tour to pharmacy for the second time this week today, right before we started, and I gotta say tour to pharmacy might be better, or at least it might be my favorite of the two. I am shocked. I thought you were gonna say seven days and how and I thought it helps argue, well, here's the thing I was gonna have to argue. I agree toward a pharmacy, I'll just tend to say this before you get cycling, we're both big things in the pond. escoto household when I was a child, my father always watched Wimbledon, and he always watched the Tour de France. So I grew up with both of these things very close to my heart, I only grew up with bikes close to my heart, not really close to my heart, but in my family because my dad owns a bike shop. So the bikes hit home quite a bit. But I just think as far as the two films are concerned toward a pharmacy does everything that seven days, and how does and just kind of pluses things to a degree. And on that I don't wanna say a pluses, because that's not the right word. It just expands and makes it a little bit bigger. So like what the talking heads, they get more Talking Heads. With the cast of characters, you get more of a cast of characters. So it's not that anything is particularly better. It's just they grow it a little bit. And there's a bit more variety. It's faster, it's faster to it, it moves with with greater speed, I think. But yeah, both are just so incredibly funny. And I could just do a quote a THON and quote along and just, just constantly just make jokes. If more people had seen these movies, I'd be quoting them all the time. And I wish I could and I guess I just have to say in doobly doo all the time. I also desperately want it wasn't a French New Wave. It was the French news wave. Yeah, that was Wait, let me say that again. Say it again. Yeah, yeah, I I desperately want to get a T shirt or hat that just says Doobly on it. And I always want to throw in Doobly in scripts, and I know I will be the only one that gets the joke, but I just find it so funny. I just Well, I love to read your scripts. I would get the joke too. I love these so much. I can't again, like I said they are for sure my favorite mockumentaries of all time, as far as comedies combined. I would say gotta be in the top three favorite comedies of all time for me, Sean Yeah, you need to ask me why why smell like smoke. I'm glad you brought this up. Jani. Why do you smell like smoke because I rage inside like a furnace. We also gloss over that from seven days and how Michael Sheen glossed over it. So as Caspian went, Johnny, do you want to describe him? He's a he's a potbelly chain smoking pedophilic TV show host who quickly becomes a Namor with young Charles pool. And when I say young he's like 15 Yeah. cracker jack. And here's the brilliance of it. Michael Sheen is in the movie for probably a minute total. Maybe. And yet he has such a lasting impact. It's just so memorable. It's so creepy. It's so fucking funny. Yeah, I love it. I love it so much. Oh, we'd even talk about the queen. I love the side bet of the queen. I'm drugs. So at first, Charles poor, you got to win for England. And then as the days go on, and he's losing and not doing well. She leaves him a drunk voicemail that calls him a fuck slot. Just do it already. I'll make you a night. I did it to that bald guy from Star Trek as a joke. Yeah. And then rigging that then it doesn't conclude but it further is with camera footage in an elevator in which Charles pool has gone to the elevator than the queen and her bodyguards come in. And she beats him with a stick or sorry with a cane. And Charles Paul is like he she beat me press bruises, bruises when she was just the Queen's trajectory. And this is so listen, I think I can count on my hand. On one hand, the amount of jokes that don't necessarily work between the two of these, which is to say there's barely any and even then I don't think they're too particularly bad. It's just and the thing is everything around them works so incredibly well that like I said earlier I have such an affinity for both these movies, yani if you're going to give a rating, what would you give them rating wise, I'd have to give them like the exact same rating. And you know, let's see. It's gonna have to be like a gonna have to be like, like an 8.2 okay if we can do decimals No we can't. No decimals allowed. Oh, come on. This was my pick fun No, that's not fair to do. Do I deserve it? detain do a point to do it do a decimal. Oh geez suiza no threes 8.20 I was doing when Freddie Highmore was sacrificing herself. That's a weird sentence. And Andy Samberg Garth know your name. Again so many fucking quotes. I love these listeners if you haven't watched these movies, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you? I hope we're getting the awareness out with this that you need to watch through it. And I know this wasn't a particularly funny episode just because we were literally like, remember that thing that we loved? Remember that other thing? But that's no, this is this is free ad time. This is free ad time for tour to pharmacy here. That boggles my mind. I don't know if he did any research. But there's almost nothing about these movies. There's almost no broadcast, no reviews, no radios. There's, there's a couple of trailer reactions to them. But not much beyond that. And it's just I just, I legitimately don't understand. They're so funny. They are so good. These needs to be in the stratosphere the best comedies of all time. And as far as your rating is concerned, I'm going to say 9.5 for both of them. I know that's really high but like I just said really high. I love these. As far as car good. I don't know off the top my head a stronger pure comedy than these two, like pure comedy. I'm not saying mixed with other stuff. Like I love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. And that's a comedy, but it's a little it's different. But Black Dynamite. I put these my Black Dynamite. Oh, I don't know about that black. Well, I'm very your bias. I'm very biased you're very prejudiced towards. Don't get me wrong. I think Black Dynamite is great. But I love these more. I think these are better. Anything. Any any final thoughts? Any final things you want to say before we wrap this up? No, no. last quote, folks, it would have been incredibly tragic if these were football players or basketball players, but they're tennis players so nobody cares. And that's in reference to them both killing each other and dying. And I agree. That's what I was thinking. And backwards leave thinking about the john McEnroe and that john McEnroe documentary and that, you know, this would be incredibly interesting if this was you know, football players or basketball players, but this is a tennis player, so nobody cares. Alright, Sean, Shawn. Yeah, what are we watching next week? I've had a little I've been feeling a little too good lately. Yeah, you've been feeling really irritate me, I want you to really frustrate I want you to make a choice that will negatively impact my life. What's it gonna be? Yeah. So I had a lot of options with where I could go forward. In terms of what is the next movie, we watched the first and the new 10 part, the next chapter, the next chapter, the next chapter of this podcast. And I was going through my list of movies that I can pick from, and I realize there was one movie that is both a combination of the past couple movies, as well as a great transition into five or six other movies I could potentially pick later on. So before I say what the movie is, I just want you to know how they refer to the other past movies. So with Notting Hill, we had Julia Roberts, so Julia Roberts is in this movie in passion of Anna. It took place in Europe, and hey, oh, this movie takes place in Europe. Oh, no. I think there was another thread too, but I'm not thinking about the moment for Magic my man and tight pants for Magic Mike. The director was Steven Soderbergh. Oh, no. with Sean McEnroe in perfection or whatever. There was a lot of freshness going on. And I love how McEnroe shat on the French. And this movie also does a very similar thing of putting the French in their place. And then was seven days, seven days in how well not in seven days in hell but in toward a pharmacy. The Freddie Highmore character is lying about his identity and putting on disguise. So I took all those threads and Yani. Do you know what I chose? What did I choose? Ocean's 12? I chose Ocean's 12. Even though it's a bit ironic that with both Magic Mike and Ocean's 12 I literally say in a podcast or two before, you know, I was thinking about this one, but I didn't pick this one. In this case, there's been a bit of a break and I watched Ocean's 12 between recordings of these episodes, and I realized Fuck, I love the shit out of this movie. I don't know why. So we're going with Ocean's 12. Okay, buckle in, buckle on, folks, this is going to be a divisive episode, particularly because Ocean's 12 is the most divisive oceans movie. It's definitely not the best one. I think not but you know. Okay, well, you know, as they say in the French jet a photo shot. Sam, why better Sam? Why less? Why? Go fuck yourself too, buddy.
